    Think it is very telling that he gives different reasons for not wanting to fight him

    He didn't say he had no interest in fighting Usyk. The video is literally him talking about why he's going to beat Usyk and saying he can't wait.

    Ffs guys :duh

    I agree with Fury, his size and his skills will be far too much for Usyk, and it will be abundantly clear next year.
    Fury is no bodybuilder.

    He keeps banging on about Usyk being a ''MW'' but that ''MW'' is an Olympic, world amateur, and European gold medalist at HW, became undisputed at CW in just 15 fights, and then annexed three of the four belts at HW in just his 19th fight, winning, defending, and unifying all his belts in his opponents's backyards with the exception of his first defences at CW and HW which were on neutral soil. He won all his gold medals in the amateurs on the road too.

    And that ''MW'' has a much better resume than him and is the current P4P king

    And that ''MW'' has beaten more world champions in 20 fights than he and The Dosser have in 79 fights combined and it gets even worse when you factor in both of them have only ever beaten one prime world champion each and that would be The Dosser for Fury and Stiverne for The Dosser. The other world champion The Dosser beat was a shot to bits Liakhovich who was coming off back-to-back stoppage defeats, was 2-4 in his last 6 fights, 3 of said losses via stoppage, both wins against nobodies

    And to say Usyk has zero charisma and personality is a bizarre take even by his standards. Usyk is literally one of the most charismatic fighters on the planet and this is despite not being able to speak English or rather only a little bit :facepalm:

    In his very next breath after talking Usyk down and dismissing him as a MW he says he doesn't want to hear any excuses after he beats him :facepalm:

    Cause its an easy fight and his favourite opponent for which the guilible brits give their money away.

    Usyk is scary, he might actually burst the fake confidence bubble and h2h porential ATG beast hype to have the house of cards come crashing down.

    Making Riddick Bowe look like Duran at the moment...

    Exactly, Usyk has more Charisma than Fury to be fair. Just because he is load and constantky repeating the same lines im a WWE style doesnt make him more charismatic.
    Worst part is thst despite that Fury has more charisma than AJ and Wilder put together. Shows how they are.

    Another juicy hunk of bait to keep the ladies chattering until Fury-Usyk is inevitably announced.

    Fury calls good fighters **** and **** fighters good. He's always done it. I think its just a psychological thing for him personally. He doesn't want to build the opponent up in his head.

    The good news is he's talking about this fight like its going to happen. Hopefully some sort of announcement on Dec 3.
